Acclaimed American choreographer Meg Stuart’s work is constantly shifting, developing a new language and set of rules for every piece. With UNTIL OUR HEARTS STOP, Stuart drew inspiration from the people who create their own, fantastical, rules as they retreat from real life.

Six performers and three musicians find themselves in a place that is both a nightclub and an arena: a place of desire and illusion, experiencing extreme intimacy at each other’s hands in their high-octane refuge. To the sound of throbbing basses, piano and drums, they connect and explore each other, and draw the audience into their immersive world.

"Chafes against the life that keeps on going until nothing but a breathing body and a beating heart remain"
